I Vote for Pic 4.Quite clearly to me it's man & nature in relection of past transgressions to land clearing of the Australian bush by white settlement. It's a subtle yet poignant statement about the love of the environment and Australian Bush and the faceless identity of the exploitive process of capitalism and the indiginous people. Makes your hair stand on end . Well done

OMG!! all these pics are so wonderful! i love the character about the first one.. the gorgeous big blue eyes of the bubba =) the 3rd one is really intense, i like it, and the last one is a man in nature, so that i can admire. But if i had to choose id say finalist #1 cos it seems to be reminiscent of good old fun times. This was a pretty hard decision for me, so i cant imagine what all you at pascoe had to go thru just to get it down to the 4!!GOOD LUCK TO ALL

The work of art in number two get's my vote. The kid's a natural. She's chilled, she's relaxed and she knows she's cool. An artful representation of untainted innocence; only found in a baby's eyes. Truly an expression of societies penchant for pureness.

Im deciding to give my vote to finalist 1. I have choosen this pic as it has great composition,structure of pushing and pulling the frame.The eyes of the stuning girl leds you through to the crazy ugly guy with the googly eyes give a great depth like the great tale Beauty and the Beast.Along with the lighting I think this pic would make a great Pop art.

hi every1 my name is khia. Picture 1 is my photo. im so shocked and happy that i made the finals for this comp (....me, make the finals for anything, yet alone win.. yeah, right! lol) anyway, im just posting a little comment back to all who have voted for me ... THANK-YOU kindly. and to the other finalists in this months comp - good luck. -- khia -- =)

My vote is for number four. This piece grabs you from the outset. The layers of meaning flowing from this picture represnt a deep understanding of the human condition. The layered expressions caught in the subject is combined skillfully & cheekily with the symbolism of the native gum tree and clear blue sky. The question the viewer is pressed to ask 'how separte is the modern world/human with the natural environment around us?' when combined with the subjects almost wry smile yet staring eyes is a masterful tongue in cheek comment on today's attitude to the natural environment and the modern condition. Cahllenge the cliché. Great Stuff, keep it coming.

About Me

Name: Rachel

Location: QLD, Australia

Welcome to PopMyArt! A little log of an e-business journey........... In 2006, a young Australian couple saw a celebrity pop art collection in a West End cafe. They were huge, striking artworks that had been created from photos. "Imagine turning your own photo into a piece of wall art", said Rachel. "We could do that!", replied Matt.
And so Pascoe Pop Art was launched, an online art service that transforms ordinary photos into larger than life canvas pop art portraits.
